Backing up your COVERT ACTION disks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

PLEASE MAKE BACKUPS OF YOUR COVERT ACTION DISKS



To make a backup of your COVERT ACTION disks, boot your 
Amiga with a Workbench system disk, then for each of the three
game disks (assuming you place each disk to be copied in the 
internal drive) :-

From the CLI with a single disk drive system type :-

	diskcopy df0: to df0:

	Follow the on screen prompts to exchange disk when requested.

From the CLI with a double disk drive system (assuming your second drive
is DF1:) type :-

	diskcopy df0: to df1:	

	Follow the on screen prompts.

From Workbench with a sinlge drive system :-

	Click once on the disk icon to be copied, then
	from the 'Workbench' menu select 'duplicate' or 'copy' 
	(depending on the version of Workbench you are using).

	Follow the on screen prompts.

	Note your copies will have to be renamed.

	Remove the original game disk. The new disk will be called
	'Copy of COVA' (or B,C etc). Click on its disk icon and then use
	the 'Rename' option in the 'Workbench' or 'Icon' menu
	to remove the 'Copy of ' and leave exactly the same name as
	the original game disk.

	The original names of the game disk are :-

	disk #1	- 'COVA'
	disk #2 - 'COVB'
	disk #3 - 'COVB'

From Workbench with a double disk system (drag copy):-

	Place a blank disk in your second drive and drag the icon
	for the game disk to be copied onto the second disk icon and
	let go.

	Follow the on screen prompts and then follow the instructions
	above to rename the disks.




Memory problems with COVERT ACTION
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


COVERT ACTION is a very large game and takes up a great deal of
memory. You may find that you will not hear some sound effects.
Ideally you would need one and a half megabytes of memory, to
experience all the music and sound effects, particulary if you
are playing with external drives attached.




COVERT ACTION hard disk installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The installation program creates one file which does not go to the
directory where all the other COVERT ACTION game files are located.

DO NOT DELETE this file unless you wish to remove COVERT ACTION 
from your hard disk.

Please note the file ca.dat located in the 's' directory of the root
directory of your hard disk contains the full path specification, as
to where to find the COVERT ACTION files. Therefore should you wish to
relocate the COVERT ACTION files to another directory or to another 
partition, make the correct modifications to the 's:ca.dat' file 

e.g.

if you originally installed to-

dh0:mps/covert

and moved all the COVERT ACTION files to another directory, say-

fred:games/covert

then change the file 's:ca.dat' to include the above new path.

N.B. please make sure their are no spaces at the end of the
new path, otherwise the COVERT ACTION removal program will not work.




Removal of COVERT ACTION from your hard disk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To make life easier a hard disk deinstallation program has been
included on disk#3, this program will remove all game files and
the directory that held them.

Insert disk#3 into the internal drive and type

DF0:remove_covert , this will delete all the game files from the hard disk
and the s:ca.dat file.
